If you look at the dueling investigations as a battle between team Trump and the Deep State, here is how it is set out:
Team Trump: Congress and the IG, Horowitz, have uncovered and continue uncover unprecedented abuses by the DOJ/FBI and State Dept. The facts are undeniable but the media denies them anyway. There is no one in a position actually prosecute the criminals.
Deep State: Mueller is positioned and willing to prosecute. An inconvenient circumstance for him is that he has no facts to support such a prosecution. But he is willing to create a set of facts, if at all possible, to support an obstruction charge. Admittedly, such a prosecution or recommendation for impeachment might look petty given the avalanche of facts uncovered by Team Trump.
What probably happens: a truce. No real reform and no significant prosecutions, certainly not by Team Trump. (Deep State will probably back off sentencing Flynn since inconvenient facts would be exposed at trial).
Such a "truce" is really a big victory for the Deep State.
“There is no one in a position actually prosecute the criminals.”
A fact rarely grasped by 95% here on FreeRepublic. Same with Trey Gowdy. He can subpoena witnesses and refer them for prosecution. That is the limit of his, or any other member of Congress, power.
Any case prosecuted out of Washington DC is hopelessly compromised until ALL of the Comey/Mueller sympathizers are outed and removed. And Trump would haave to jump 3 or 4 levels of management to order a US Attorney to prosecute a case.
